Revolving brassica display\u003cbr/\u003eGeorge Bush Senior famously announced his dislike of broccoli , and banned it from the White House during his Presidency. \u003cbr/\u003eBut according to scientists at Warwick HRI, the Plant Research arm of the University of Warwick, this could have been one of his less successful presidential decisions.\u003cbr/\u003eWarwick HRI's \"Riding the Wave of Brassica Bio-Diversity\" display at this year's Chelsea Flower Show in London is set to be one of the successes of an event more commonly associated with lush blooms and exotic garden design.\u003cbr/\u003eBroccoli, a member of the Brassica family, is more than just a vegetable. \u003cbr/\u003eResearchers claim brassicas are environmentally friendly, a rich source of antioxidants and can contribute to the future of our energy needs.\u003cbr/\u003eScientists are now developing different ways of using Broccoli  in manufacturing, as a source of oils for making plastics, or for use in bio diesels.\u003cbr/\u003e Working with growers such as Marshalls, the largest commercial grower/packer of brassicas in Europe, Dr Teakle and his colleagues are able to develop new strains of these plants that improve on some of their natural characteristics. \u003cbr/\u003eFor example, by using wild relatives of more common brassicas, they can breed plants with higher resistance to pests and fungal diseases, reducing the need for pesticides and sprays.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Warwick HRI Genetic Resources Unit holds the largest collection of vegetable brassicas in the world, and their scientists believe it's important to encourage cross breeding from the widest possible range of Brassicas. \u003cbr/\u003eThey maintain it will maximise benefits such as less need for pesticides, a naturally longer shelf life and better health properties, including defending against cancers. \u003cbr/\u003eThis super veg is high in soluble fibre and high in vitamin C.  It also contains the compound glucoraphanin, which leads to an anticancer compound, sulforaphane. \u003cbr/\u003eThe National Cancer Institute suggests that broccoli, along with its cruciferous family members, may be important in the prevention of some types of cancer. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's the diversity of Brassicas that Warwick HRI is keen to promote.\u003cbr/\u003eThe RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London is one of the world's leading horticultural events, attracting plant lovers from around the globe.\u003cbr/\u003eIt showcases some truly special garden designs, and spectacular displays of flowers - but it also aims to raise the public's understanding and appreciation of all things related to plants and horticulture. \u003cbr/\u003eThe \"Lifelong Learning\" section of the show is particularly focused on the science behind gardening. Warwick HRI hope their presentation will open minds to the value of the large and diverse genus of plants known as Brassicas.\u003cbr/\u003eThe display even includes a prototype surfboard, constructed by the Eden Project in part from plant oils. \u003cbr/\u003eCrossing one form of Brassica, Oil Seed Rape, with other forms such as Broccoli could expand the range of vegetable oils available to manufacturing - demonstrating one more product that could benefit from broccoli in the future.\u003cbr/\u003eKeyword-science-technology\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
